This document is a "Decision to Restrict Competition --- Use of Brand Name Justification" for Acquisition RFQ FA813226Q0032, concerning F117 Torque Multipliers. It cites statutory authority under 41 U.S.C 1901, RFO 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures, and RFO FAR 12.102(a) for restricting competition.

The justification states that the F117 Engine Manual Tech Order requires the use of a Sweeney (SWE) 8200 torque multiplier for critical torquing procedures during the assembly of F117 turbofan engines. The technical order explicitly does not permit substitutes for the SWE 8200.

This document indicates that the requirement for the SWE 8200 torque multiplier will be competed amongst small businesses. Bidders should note that this is a brand-name justification, meaning only the specified SWE 8200 model is acceptable, and the competition will be restricted to small businesses.
